* They use technology to help 'fill the gaps'. In other words to find out what students understanding or misunderstanding is of a concept prior to teaching it.

We had general discussion at the end between the two HOD's around pedagogy vs tool which we have been having here at Westlake Girls lately also. They are keen to collaborate further with our teachers here. We have set up a collaborative google folder to share resources in. And we are intending on having another skype session with them to fill them in on what we are doing in our Science department.
We hope to organise more of these opportunities for other departments in the near future.
